Woo hoo! It’s the final week and all I can think of is “just get food on the table until it’s over.” My creativity is gone with the wind, and I don’t mean Gone With The Wind Fabulous. While that may sound sort of boring, I actually think it’s an indicator of success. By the time I get to the end of the Whole 30 I’m basically eating because I have a need to nourish, not to feed any cravings or particular emotions. SCORE!

Monday

Breakfast: will be the same all week. I made Italian Brunch Bake and roasted up some brussels sprouts. Breakfast in boxes all week long!Lunch: Rogan Josh (straight out of Well Fed. HOLY CRAP this is a simple, but flavorful dish.)Dinner: A variation on Nom Nom Paleo’s Slow Cooker Kalua Pig (smoked paprika instead of bacon. Oh bacon, how I miss thee!)

Meatloaf burgers. Standard additions like egg, onions, seasonings, but chopped water chestnuts instead of grains. Shape into patties and fry on griddle. We make 4 patties out of 1 pound ground beef so have leftovers to eat cold.

I had these exact same burgers probably 6 times during my whole30. I want one now just thinking about them.

Egg, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, s&p mixed in with the meat. Top with bacon sauteed onions (I found a little hunk of salted pork at WF – no sugar! SCORE), homemade guacamole, tomato slices. Bam! It does not disappoint!
